Birth of a legend...John Lennon's original sketch of the most famous album cover in history.<br />
<br />
Found in a sketchbook left behind at Lennon's Kenwood home in Surrey and recovered by the new owners is this extraordinary ink on paper sketch of &ldquo;Sgt. Pepper&rsquo;s Lonely Hearts Club Band&rdquo; album cover, released in 1967. <br />
<br />
Lennon wrote much of the album before leaving the home in 1969. The astonishing sketch includes John Lennon&rsquo;s handwriting of the album&rsquo;s title on the central bass drum in the image. This sketch is one of the most significant and historically important pieces of Beatles memorabilia ever to be recovered. <br />
